# Low-Sugar Plant-Based Gummies Starburst Goodies are Made with Real Fruit Juice By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2025-05-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst-goodies References: [allrecipes](https://www.allrecipes.com/new-starburst-goodies-11739984) & [starburstgoodies](https://www.starburstgoodies.com/products/favereds-1-8-oz-plant-based-gummies)  Starburst Goodies, available in Original and FaveREDS varieties, share a new experience of a favorite square candy with a plant-based recipe made with real fruit juice and just eight grams of sugar per pack. While the Original lineup includes an assortment of fan-favorite Strawberry, Orange, Lemon and Cherry flavors, FaveREDS doubles down on a certain color with Watermelon, Strawberry, Cherry and Fruit Punch varieties inside. These [low-sugar plant-based gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-thingz) remind of [classic fruit snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiggly-fruit-snacks) but offer a feel-good experience that aligns with the preferences of a new generation of snackers. According to fans who've tried these plant-based gummies, they're so good that it's easy to eat a whole bag at once—so it's worth noting that a whole bag contains 24 grams of fiber. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 42% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Low-sugar Confectionery:** The surge of low-sugar alternatives in sweets responds to health-conscious consumers seeking indulgence without the guilt. - **Plant-based Ingredient Innovation:** Developing plant-based recipes is becoming key for brands as they cater to a growing demographic interested in sustainable and health-oriented options. - **Fiber-enriched Snacks:** Snacks fortified with fiber tap into the increasing demand for functional foods that support digestive health and satiety. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Snack Foods:** The snack food industry is increasingly incorporating health-focused innovations, driven by consumer trends towards better-for-you ingredients. - **Natural Sweeteners:** Natural sweetener producers are gaining traction as brands seek to reduce sugar content while maintaining taste quality in new products. - **Functional Food Additives:** Advancements in functional additives, such as fiber and plant-based compounds, are reshaping product formulations to meet wellness lifestyle trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst.md) - [Low-Sugar Tart Cherry Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-sour-tart-cherry.md) - [Flavorful Fruit Puree Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst-fruit-squares.md) - [Better-for-You Tropical Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-stars.md) - [Low-Sugar Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blobs-gummy-candy.md) - [Low-Sugar Sour Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-blobs.md) - [High-Fiber Fruit Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naturelly-fruit-gummies.md) - [Low-Calorie Sour Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-blobs1.md) - [Low-Sugar Prebiotic Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prebiotic-gummies.md)
